A cognitive approach to improve software engineering processes

Cognitive Informatics is a new research area that combines concepts from cognitive sciences and informatics. Particularly, classification according to cognitive styles or learning styles is a common practise in educational and business areas in order to obtain better performance from people involved in learning and collaborative tasks. Humanintensive processes in software engineering make it similar to those areas. In this paper, we propose using a kind of people classification to improve those processes of software engineering where human behaviour is a critical influence on their success.Eje: Ingeniería en SoftwareRed de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI

Applying cognitive informatics to improve communication in geographically distributed environments

When stakeholders are geographically distributed, elicitation process becomes more difficult and communication between all the participants presents new challenges for software engineering community. Considering characteristics of interpersonal communication and the virtual area where it is carried out, we aim at improving the quality of elicitation results by applying concepts from a new transdisciplinary science called Cognitive Informatics.Eje: Análisis de RequerimientosRed de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI

Facing communication challenges in global software development

The main challenges during global software development projects are related to the lack of face-to-face communication. Since stakeholders satisfaction is crucial as a factor that can infl uence a team performance, we have focused our research on the need of people feeling comfortable with the technology they use. In this article we introduce an approach that proposes a way of choosing the most suitable technology for a given group of people, taking advantage of information about stakeholders' cognitive characteristics, and we present preliminary results of an experiment we have carried out to validate our proposal.VI Workshop Ingeniería de Software (WIS)Red de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI

Using fuzzy sets to analyse personal preferences on groupware tools

When stakeholders are geographically distributed communication presents new challenges for software engineering community. In order to improve communication between stakeholders, we have previously proposed to apply learning style models to characterise the way people interact. In this work we enhance that model, using fuzzy reasoning, to find a set of rules that tell us which groupware tools are more suitable according to stakeholders classification.Eje: I - Workshop de Ingeniería de Software y Base de DatosRed de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI

Estrategia cognitiva aplicada a la descomposición de objetivos

El análisis orientado a objetivos, complementa y fortalece las técnicas tradicionales de análisis de requerimientos. Dentro de los métodos de análisis orientado a objetivos nos concentramos en el grafo de objetivos resultante de la aplicación de este poderoso recurso de la ingeniería de software. Nuestro proyecto pretende utilizar las características de la ingeniería cognitiva con el objeto de mejorar las técnicas de descomposición de objetivos existentes, poniendo énfasis en la manera en que las personas se comunican. Toma como punto de partida el resultado de la aplicación de un subconjunto de métodos orientados a objetivos.Eje: Ingeniería de Software y Base de DatosRed de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI
